Since retiring from commercial work Ian has concentrated on passing on his skills and experience through books and videos. He is the author of The Open Boat: the Origin, Evolution and Construction of the Australian 18-Footer and Wooden Boatbuilding: the Sydney Wooden Boat School Manuals, and the new book The 18-Footer Britannia: 100 Years of a Sydney Harbour Icon. He sails his replica Britannia with the historical replica fleet and is building a carvel-planked Ranger-class gaff sloop.
